LOS ANGELES — In the same leaked audio clips posted to Reddit in which former Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez made racist remarks about Black people and Oaxacans, she also made crude remarks about Jewish people and Armenians.
Martinez said Tuesday that she would take a leave of absence from the Los Angeles City Council, two days after a recording surfaced on which she was heard deriding some of her colleagues and making racist remarks. Martinez stepped down as L.A. City Council president a day earlier.
In an audio clip reviewed by the Los Angeles Times, Martinez can be heard saying the “Judíos” — which means Jews in Spanish — “cut their deal with South L.A.”
